ABSTRACT
Managing mobile devices is more tedious than managing personal computers within an organization as the devices may operate out of the secure corporate environment. Mobile device management (MDM) solutions help in creating an extended workplace and redefining mobility in the corporate world. MDM solutions have a wider scope of functionalities to offer, and again the features offered may be limited for certain mobile platforms. Software distribution includes the ability to manage mobile application across different devices and provide support for the applications deployed. The Mobile Network Director Application from SmithMicro allows telecom operators to optimize network traffic based on load by directing the traffic of data between third-generation, fourth-generation, and WiFi networks. Mobile workforce management solutions automate daily tasks of a business process to eliminate manual inefficiencies and paperwork, improving and adhering to business process, reducing operating cost, saving time, sending or receiving work orders electronically, providing guidance to complete a job, and many more similar functionalities.
